No way are the Aussies man for man better than us. Classic game and if we do meet again in the finals we certainly wont want to let the Aussies back into the game the way we did yesterday because i cant see them letting it slip a 2nd time.

They've got 8 batsmen in the top 30 of the ICC's ODI rankings, we've got 3 (and one of those is 30th). We've got 4 bowlers in the top 30 and they've only got 3, but all 3 of theirs are rated higher than ours. They're also number 1 on the team rankings while we're 5. https://www.icc-cricket.com/player-rankings/overvie...

We've been in good form, and this Aussie team isn't as good as they were 10 years ago by any stretch, but they do have a lot of quality players.
